When you review a restaurant you're supposed to say the name and location to help others out.

>>21598511
not a review. this is a prompt for others to share disappointing meals. are you new here?

that's the spongey artificial ingredients added type of chicken. you can see it.

Looks like they opened a can and microwaved it

That's canned chicken if I've ever seen it

I see the new owners have a new supplier! expect many more menu upgrades!

Kinda the opposite here. I went to a Japanese restaurant, the ind where you sit on the floor... asked if they made hot and sour soup and the waitress said no but we can make it special for you. What I got looked awful. Nothing but sliced button mushrooms in a dark hot soup. It turned out to be the best damn hot and sour soup I would ever eat in my life. Nailed the flavor and didn't overdo the starch like a lot of Chinese restaurants do.

>>21598508
If you know anything about soup, you know it takes all day to make properly. If those celery and carrot bit were tender, everything you got came from a can. Also the fake chicken.

I hate when I order the soup and it’s clearly the reheated frozen block from a plastic bag/tub, almost never order soup now because of it

I can honestly say that I have never been so badly disappointed in a restaurant ever before. I could literally get a better meal out of the corner shawarma stand and for a third of the price.

you need a taste bud reset, you've consumed too much goyslop

dude, it's that sort-of chicken square stuff they sell at Subway, that kind that's filled with fillers like soy. Subway is barely passable, but that shit in a soup fucking sucks. Fuckin Tim Hortons had chicken soup with actual chicken pieces (not-spongy chicken with meat fibers) until right before than pandemic. They have the same chicken as OP now and I have not eaten it since then.

Michelin stars are bullshit. You should've went to a hole-in-the-wall place. They're usually amazing before the stars and crash right after for a multitude of reasons

Nope. I am a fucking connosieur. I'm not joking when I say that I literally couldn't taste anything in the sauce or, umm, toppings on the fish. The fish tasted just like broiled fish anywhere. The veal was ok but it was just a slab of veal, lightly grilled, put between two slices of what in the U.S. would be called "Texas toast", with nothing else special about it; there was some sort of stuff spread between the bread and the veal but it was flavorless also.

It was a complete waste of money and of a meal, and was the second-worst place I ate at in BA. (The worst was one specific shawarma place in the side of a building, the third-worst was another "Asian Fusion" place called something like "Katsu Street Food" which was likewise bland but at least not a total waste of money, at least the sushi was acceptable there.)

You want fucking fantastic shawarma in BA, go to Al Arabe. I reviewed the various places while I was there about two months ago:

https://warosu.org/ck/thread/21460568

I ended up going there repeatedly while I was in BA. Shawarma Serrano was open 24H so I went there a couple of times in the middle of the night when my insomnia was fucking over my dinner schedule.

>Michelin stars are bullshit. You should've went to a hole-in-the-wall place.
Yeah, I realize that already, this place just had so much hype (and I wanted some good "Asian" food) that I wanted to try it. Beeg meestake.

I've been meaning to do a final writeup of all the different places I tried in BA. There were a LOT of good ones, especially in the "cheap" range (for BA, anyway -- everything there was surprisingly expensive, I guess they have to rake in cash as fast as they can because of the constant currency devaluation). Nino Gordo wasn't one of the good ones.

>>21598508
I tried Subway after a decade recently and their "chicken" was now this, except even worse. It was a greyish green color and had the texture of tofu. It used to just be normal frozen chicken breast that comes in a giant bag from sysco. Now it's whatever this is. How do they even get that shitty fake "sear" on there?
>>
>>21600764
I'm fairly certain it's seared on conveyor belts (same principal as a burger king broiler) before it's sliced. It's quite performative, yes, but we eat with our eyes first. If it tastes like shit, it might as well "look good". If it just came out as a white cube, it would look even weirder than it currently does.

>mentioned in Michelin
A mention is not the same as a star. Most bib gourmand places I've tried have been hit or miss, though occasionally you will come across a real gem. But you'd have better luck just reading reviews and talking to locals imo.

Keep on eating your slop and plebfeed, pleb. Leave the cooking to people who know how to cook

I worked at subway and the chicken strips smelled like chicken anus whenever I'd open a new bag, just straight chicken butt stench.

The "biscuits and gravy" that I had from a Marriott once has to be up there.
